Which of the following statements is most likely true concerning the given reaction?
2A(g) + B(g) → 2C(g) + D(s)
2A(g) + B(g) → 2C(g) + D(s)
Show Hint
- Entropy of system is decreasing
- Entropy of system is increasing
- The reaction is spontaneous
- The reaction is non-spontaneous
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
The reaction shows a decrease in the number of gaseous moles: 3 moles of gases react to give 2 moles of gas and 1 solid. Since solids have much lower entropy than gases, the overall entropy decreases.
